GPS Enabled

•When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground

•In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your phone

Walking or driving very slowly may also substantially reduce GPS performance.

Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take much longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call, always report the location to the emergency response center if you can and if you cannot, remain on your phone for as long as the emergency response center instructs you.

Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature will only provide an approximate location, often within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes much further from your actual location. Advice on how to improve GPS performance is provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 66.

While the GPS feature of your phone can be a valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the need for careful navigating and good judgment.

Never rely solely on one device for navigation.

Remember that the accuracy of the location

information and the time needed to obtain it will vary depending on circumstances, particularly the ability to receive signals from adequate numbers of satellites.

On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance information from the phone network to improve the speed and accuracy of your phone’s location calculation: if such assistance information becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and accuracy of the location calculation.

The satellites used by the GPS feature of your phone are controlled by the U.S. government and are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the GPS feature of your phone.

Making an Emergency Call

Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency response center. If you are on an active call, you must end it before calling 911.

When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS feature of your phone begins to seek information to calculate your approximate location. It will take the

GPS feature of your phone some time to determine your approximate location. Even where your phone has good access to sufficient

I530 specifications

The Motorola i530 is an iconic device that represents the ruggedness and functionality that Motorola stood for during the early 2000s. Built for durability and practicality, the i530 was specifically designed for users in demanding environments, such as construction sites and outdoor activities, where the ability to withstand harsh conditions is crucial.

One of the key features of the Motorola i530 is its rugged design. The device is housed in a sturdy casing that meets military specifications for dust, shock, and moisture resistance. This means that the phone can easily endure rough handling and exposure to the elements, making it an excellent choice for professionals who require reliable communication in challenging situations. With its clamshell design, the i530 also features a protective outer shell that minimizes the risk of accidental damage.

In terms of technology, the i530 operates on the iDEN network, which combines both cellular and radio communications in one device. This unique capability allows users to make traditional phone calls while also having the option of pushing-to-talk (PTT) functionality, similar to a walkie-talkie. This feature is particularly beneficial for teams working in close proximity, enabling instant communication without the need for phone calls.

The Motorola i530 is equipped with a 1.5-inch monochrome display that, while small by today’s standards, was adequate for the limited tasks it was designed to perform. The interface is straightforward, prioritizing essential functions over flashy graphics. Users can easily navigate through menus and access features such as contact lists, messaging, and various tools.

Battery life is another highlight of the i530, known for its long-lasting performance which is critical for those who spend extended periods away from charging facilities. This durability is complemented by the device’s overall lightweight build, ensuring that it can be carried comfortably throughout the day.

Other notable characteristics of the Motorola i530 include customizable ringtones, an address book for storing contacts, and basic messaging capability. While it lacks some modern features such as a camera or advanced apps, its focus on functionality and resilience has earned it a dedicated user base. The Motorola i530 remains a testament to a time when communication devices prioritized toughness and reliability above all else.
